Not that we we will be able to test it, but I would bet against your promise. I don’t see a reason why cows or chickens couldn’t survive in the wild. Not in all areas obviously but I am sure there are areas where climate, vegetation and predators allow them to thrive. We have wild turkeys, we have quail, so why not chickens? And if horses can survive, then cows can too. Horses are way more fragile than cows.

Have you dealt with chickens, turkeys, horses, or cows in real life? Because it doesn't seem like you have. Horses are in no way more fragile than cows, especially wild stallions.

I've raised turkeys, chickens, cows, and horses. The turkeys and chickens people eat are not the same as wild turkeys, they would not survive without humans.

Yes I have dealt plenty with horses, cows, goats, pigs, chickens, rabbits, ducks and others. My contention is that you would be surprised how quickly animals would adapt. The notion that we are doing them a favor by keeping them because otherwise they would not survive is nonsense in my opinion.

Agree to disagree then. Your experience raising these animals do not match mine.
